Mohagher Iqbal, Chair of MILF Peace Implementing Panel of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) met with over 500 Moro National Liberation Front members, also known as Gagandilan in Languyan, Tawi-Tawi on July 11, the Philippine Daily Inquirer said.

Iqbal said the meeting was aimed at creating a bridge between the two Moro revolutionary groups.
“We need to make bridges. One of the issues thrown against the Moro people is that there is so much disunity among us. I am disputing that,” he said.

The MNLF Gagandilan members and their dependents met Iqbal and his team upon their arrival.

Languyan Mayor Ismael Sali said the Gagandilan members were excited to see Iqbal and his team and listen to them talk about the proposed Bangsamoro Basic Law.

Sali said there are some 1,000 Gagandilan members, some of them engaged in fishing, farming, business and education. (Source: PDI)
